How many?

I have - more than once.

[don-o]

I have read every word of the Bible - at least 66 of the books of the Bible. Any other questions?

[Iscool]

Me...

If I said that I had and more than once, would you believe me? Or dismiss it as bragging?

But, yeah I have, even the ‘boring’ parts like the genealogies.

I’ve read the Bible, cover to cover, several times. I used to try to do it every year.

I see salvation as a “ticket” to Heaven. Believing in Christ earns you a ticket into heaven; but you can lose your ticket on the way to that wonderful destination through negligence, distraction, or stupidity. If you didn’t take good care of that ticket, safeguard it, protect it, and have now misplaced it, you don’t get in.

You have to live the life Christ wants you to live to keep hold of that ticket to Heaven. You can even get on the train, but when the time comes, you’d better be able to produce that ticket or you will be put off the train. It all boils down to actions. Christ demands we LIVE as He asked. Just saying you love Him is not enough; you’ve got to really live it.
